Random Thursday: Random Squeefuls

Random Thursday (ˈrandəm ˈTHərzdā): the day on which Sarah plunks down all the odd bits and pieces she’s been sent by friends or has otherwise stumbled upon this week in an effort to avoid writing a real post, the assembly of which usually ends up taking twice as much time as sitting down and creating actual content.

Once again, we were reminded that the Calendar Spring is not Weather Spring, as the first robin was encased in ice during Monday’s snow infestation.

But there is still squee to be found, if you look. Or your friends do and send it to you.

Thanks, guys.

Now giving free hugs!

(Thanks, liligriff!)

ooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooo

SQUEE.

That is all.

My husband sent me this, presumably because he thought the high pitch of my reaction would knock something loose in my sinuses.

Thanks, honey.

ooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooo

Watch This

And then watch it again and mark the time
when you said, “Wait. Whoa.”
and report it in the comments, please.

Mine was about 18 seconds in.

And then 46.

And at 1:03.

And 1:56.

I love this so, so much.

ooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooo

Octovengers

Sunny called them Squidvengers, which is even better.

Me: I wonder how easy these are to assemble?

Kev: Well, they are filled with glorious polyfiber.

(Thanks, Watson! You’re right, these are two of my favorite thiiiiiings!)

ooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooo

“There’s No Way to Outsquee Baby Hedgies.”

Your argument is invalid.

ooooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooooo

Literal Time Suck

Jane introduced me to a series of trailers on YouTube which hilariously describe every single thing that’s going on in them–including the production symbols—not only with subtitles, but a sort of Gregorian Chant that isn’t half bad.

She started me on one for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, which I loved
(“Colonial Running Shoe Commercial . . . “),
even though I had no prior knowledge of the game, but I decided to show one for a movie that I’ve actually seen. Twice.

Trust me and stop at 1:50—the video are good, but the junk at the end is annoying for anyone not of a certain demographic.
